Include Youth Service
Originally an early school levers programme Include Youth Service targets young people with specific needs and provides a safe space to chat and socialise. The service aims to counteract the problem of early school leaving by identifying young people who are experiencing difficulties, identifying the specific problems they are experiencing, working with those ‘at risk’ young people to overcome the issues they experience within the formal education system. The common theme in this diverse model is young person centred, needs based design involving individual and small group work. The service also incorporates a Wellbeing Programme, in partnership with the ISPCC, whereby a Wellbeing Officer works with young people in small groups.
Where are we based:

Programmes
Throughout our service we have a range of programmes running depending on the needs of young people and the time of year.
These include, Special interest-based groups like environmental groups, STEAM groups, music/jamming groups and sports groups. We also organise needs-based programmes depending on the needs identified by young people and youth workers.
These programmes include young men’s groups, young women’s groups and the Build a Bridge 6th Transition Programme.
